DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In accordance with the present invention, systems and methods are provided to recognize activities in first-person videos without requiring large-scale labeled data, rather using labels only from third-person videos. Aspects of the present invention handle videos from any egocentric platform, such as vehicle-mounted, head-mounted, drone-mounted or wearable cameras. In one embodiment, activities in first-person videos can be recognized without requiring large-scale labeled data by developing domain adaptation technique between labeled third-person videos and unlabeled first-person videos. In another embodiment, a new end-to-end training framework is employed by designing a hierarchical adversarial objective where the adversarial training happens at either the frame-level or the video-level. In yet another embodiment, a new video representation is employed for activity recognition in first-person videos based on deep neural network followed by feature aggregation.

Aspects of the present invention utilizes unlabeled data from target domain, i.e., the first-person videos for training of recognition engine, and therefore generalizes better to the target domain.

Embodiments described herein may be entirely hardware, entirely software or including both hardware and software elements. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention is implemented in software, which includes but is not limited to firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.

Embodiments may include a computer program product accessible from a computer-usable or computer-readable medium providing program code for use by or in connection with a computer or any instruction execution system.

Referring now in detail to the figures in which like numerals represent the same or similar elements and initially to FIG. 1, an exemplary system 50 for a surveillance system with activity recognition is illustratively depicted in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

The system 50 includes a camera system 60. While a single camera system 60 is shown in FIG. 1 for the sakes of illustration and brevity, it is to be appreciated that multiple camera systems can be also used, while maintaining the spirit of the present invention. In one embodiment, the camera system 60 can include a bodycam. In another embodiment, the camera system 60 can include glasses with an imbedded camera, a dashcam, a head-mounted camera, a camera vest with multiple cameras in the vest, or any other camera system.

The camera system 60 is mounted on a security mount 65. For the sake of illustration, the mounting entity 65 is a security officer. While a security officer 65 is shown (as a mounting entity) for the sake of illustration, any other mounting entity can be used, as readily appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art given the teachings of the present invention provided herein, while maintaining the spirit of the present invention. For example, the camera system 60 can be mounted in or on any of the following: a drone, a security patrol vehicle; and so forth. The preceding examples are merely illustrative.

The camera system 60 can be a wireless camera system having its own antenna(s) or can use one or more antennas included on the security mount 65 (or other mounting entity (e.g., building, drone, etc.) to which the camera system 60 is mounted or proximate).

The system 50 further includes a server 70 configured to perform activity recognition. Such activity recognition can be with respect to a secured object such as, for example, a facility 35. The facility 35 can be a secured facility or a non-secured facility. In the example of FIG. 1, the facility 35 is a secured facility implemented as an airport. Of course, other facilities (e.g., mass transit hub, sports complex, etc.) can also be monitored with respect to activity recognition in unlabeled videos in accordance with the present invention. The activity recognition can involve detecting the presence of objects 30 (e.g., persons), recognizing particular activity performed by the objects 30 and/or particular activity performed by one or more persons using the objects 30, and/or performing one or more activity (e.g., in response to activity recognition results). The server 70 can be located remote from, or proximate to, the camera system 60. The server 70 can include a processor 71, a memory 72, and a wireless transceiver 73. The processor 71 and the memory 72 of the remote server 70 can be configured to perform surveillance based on images received from the camera system 60 by the (the wireless transceiver 73 of) the remote server 70. In this way, a list 27 of recognized activities can be provided for any of a myriad of possible application uses relating to activity recognition. Such application uses can involve one or more activity performed responsive to the list, as readily appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, an alert (local and/or remote) can be provided, one or more doors and/or windows can be closed and locked to secure the person within a specific area or to keep the person from (out of) that specific area, a person containment procedure can be automatically performed, and so forth.

Accordingly, some exemplary suitable environments to which the present invention can be applied can include any environments where activity recognition can prove useful such as mass transit hubs, border crossings, subways, transportation hubs, airports, ship ports, sports facilities, and so forth. It is to be appreciated that the preceding environments are merely illustrative and, thus, other environments can also be used, while maintaining the spirit of the present invention.

Any activity type of interest can be recognized, depending upon the implementation. For example, the activity may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: an intruder running up to a premises or an object; a projectile approaching the premises or the object; a sporting activity; a prohibited activity (e.g., holding a weapon in a place where weapons are prohibited except for, e.g., law enforcement, etc.); a potentially dangerous activity; and so forth. It is to be appreciated that the preceding activity s are merely illustrative.

FIG. 2 shows a high-level system 100 for activity recognition in video in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The activity recognition system 100 can include labeled video 110 and unlabeled video 120. The labeled video 110 can include 3^(rd) person video. The labeled video 110 can be from any number of sources, e.g., a building mounted camera, an overhead camera, a camera mounted on a drone, plane, or satellite. The labeled video 110 has been analyzed and labeled for the content in the video. The unlabeled video 120 can include 1^(st) person video. The unlabeled video 120 can be from any number of sources, e.g., a bodycam, glasses with an imbedded camera, a dashcam, a head-mounted camera, a mobile device, or a camera vest with multiple cameras, etc. The unlabeled video 120 has not been previously analyzed and labeled for the content in the video.

The labeled video 110 and the unlabeled video 120 can feed into a feature extraction system 130. The feature extraction system 130 can extract features from frames of both the labeled video 110 and the unlabeled video 120. The extracted features can be fed into a feature aggregation system 140 and a domain adversarial training system 150. The feature aggregation system 140 can produce a vector representation 160 of the video from the extracted features. The vector representation 160 of the video can be classified as an activity 170. The domain adversarial training system 150 can include a frame-wise discriminator 152 and a video-wise discriminator 154.

In one embodiment, the frame-wise discriminator 152 can be employed to reduce the representation differences between two domains, e.g., labeled videos and unlabeled videos or first-person videos and third-person videos. The discriminator can learn differences between two domains at the frame-level and backpropagate the error signals to update CNN to reduce the representation differences. The discriminator can follow:

${\max\limits_{D}{\sum\limits_{t}{\log\;{D\left( {f_{t}\left( V^{3r\; d} \right)} \right)}}}} + {\log\left( {1 - {D\left( {f_{t}\left( V^{1{st}} \right)} \right)}} \right)}$ ${\max\limits_{\{ f_{t}\}}{\sum\limits_{t}{\log\;{D\left( {f_{t}\left( V^{1{st}} \right)} \right)}}}},$ where D is the domain discriminator, t is time, V^(1st) is the first-person or unlabeled video, V^(3rd) is the third-person or labeled video, and f_(t) is a video feature representation.

In another embodiment, the video-wise discriminator 154 can be employed to reduce the representation differences between two domains. The discriminator learns differences between two domains at the video-level, i.e., after feature aggregation, and backpropagate the error signals to update both CNN and feature aggregation parameters. The discriminator can follow:

${\max\limits_{D}{\log\;{D\left( {f_{t}\left( V^{3r\; d} \right)} \right)}}} + {\log\left( {1 - {D\left( {f_{t}\left( V^{1{st}} \right)} \right)}} \right)}$ ${\max\limits_{\{ f_{t}\}}{\log\;{D\left( {f_{t}\left( V^{1{st}} \right)} \right)}}},$ where D is the domain discriminator, t is time, V^(1st) is the first-person or unlabeled video, V^(3rd) is the third-person or labeled video, and f_(t) is a video feature representation. Here, f_(t) is the representation at a t^(th) time frame and the desired vector representation 160 is aggregated over all time frames.

In one embodiment, the mobile device 25 can be a smartphone with a camera. In another embodiment, the mobile device 25 can be a camera, an MP3 player with a camera, or a bodycam.

The mobile device 25 can be held by or mounted on a user 20. The mobile device 25 can be a wireless system having its own antenna(s). The system 10 can further include a server 70 configured to perform activity recognition in conjunction with the mobile device 25, while the mobile device 25 can also perform these functions without the server 70. Such activity recognition can be with respect to a secured object such as, for example, a facility 35. The facility 35 can be a secured facility or a non-secured facility. In the example of FIG. 3, the facility 35 is a secured facility implemented as an airport. Of course, other facilities (e.g., mass transit hub, sports complex, etc.) can also be monitored with respect to activity recognition in unlabeled videos in accordance with the present invention. The activity recognition can involve detecting the presence of objects 30 (e.g., persons), recognizing particular activity performed by the objects 30 and/or particular activity performed by one or more persons using the objects 30, and/or performing one or more activity (e.g., in response to activity recognition results). The server 70 can be located remote from, or proximate to, the mobile device 25. The server 70 can include a processor 71, a memory 72, and a wireless transceiver 73. The processor 71 and the memory 72 of the remote server 70 can be configured to perform activity recognition on videos received from the mobile device 25 by the (the wireless transceiver 73 of) the remote server 70. In this way, a list 27 of recognized activities can be provided for any of a myriad of possible application uses relating to activity recognition. Such application uses can involve one or more activity performed responsive to the list, as readily appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, an alert (local and/or remote) can be provided, one or more doors and/or windows can be closed and locked to secure the person within a specific area or to keep the person from (out of) that specific area, a person containment procedure can be automatically performed, categorize the video based on the activity and store the video in an activity related location, and so forth.
